Model 1610/1620 Easy Install™Media Air Cleaner
Installation Instructions
WARNING
1. High voltage may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Disconnect power to the furnace/air handler before starting installation.
2. Sharp edges may cause injury from cuts. Use care when cutting and handling sheet metal.
CAUTION
1. To prevent component failure, do not install the air cleaner on the warm air supply or in an area where the temperature may exceed 140°F.
This may include areas above heat exchangers in downflow furnaces or above exhaust flues in lowboy furnace cold air returns.
2. Installation must be done by a qualified heating and air conditioning professional. Read instructions thoroughly before beginning
installation.
3. Do not install air cleaner downstream of a UV light. UV lamps will cause degradation of the filtering media.

LOCATING THE AIR CLEANER
1. The air cleaner can be mounted on the right or left side of the HVAC equipment (FIGURE 2).
2. The door can be facing the front or rear of the HVAC equipment cabinet (FIGURE 2).
3. The door and blanking plate are reversible to allow filter access from the front or rear of the HVAC equipment cabinet (FIGURE 2).
4. Leave sufficient space for the removal of the filtering media (FIGURE 3).
EASY TO INSTALL AIR CLEANER FEATURES
The air cleaner has many features to make retrofit easier:
1. The cold air return opening is adjustable between 8" and 10". This is done by bending up the appropriate tabs. The 8" dimension can be offset to
the right or left by moving the “L” bracket to either side to match up with the location of the return drop.

2. The “L” bracket can removed to form a 10"x 24" drop opening (FIGURE 6).
3. If the cold air drop is less than 24 inches deep an angle bracket can be field fabricated and installed to reduce the drop width (FIGURE 7).
4. The cold air return can be moved into position over the top of the air cleaner (FIGURE 8) or transition pieces field fabricated (FIGURE 9).
5. Four tabs are located on the outlet side of the air cleaner. These tabs can be bent into the cold air return opening on the HVAC equipment to hold
the air cleaner in position during installation (FIGURE 10).

INSTALL THE AIR CLEANER CABINET
WARNING
120 Volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock.
Disconnect power to the furnace/air handler before starting installation. Leave power disconnected until installation is completed.
1. Disconnect power to the furnace or air handler at the
electrical service panel.
2. Remove filtering media from the air cleaner cabinet.
3. If replacing an existing filter, remove the filter and
thoroughly clean the blower compartment.
4. Determine which side of the furnace the air cleaner
cabinet will be mounted to and set up the blanking plate
accordingly.
5. Determine the cold air return drop sizing and location
and bend up tabs on the top of the air cleaner cabinet
accordingly.
6. Use the tabs to fix the air cleaner cabinet to the opening
in the furnace. Use screws (field supplied) to mount the
unit to the furnace/air handler.
7. Mount the return ductwork over the bent-up flanges on
the top of the air cleaner cabinet with sheet metal screws
(field supplied).
8. Seal all connections using mastic, foil tape or silicone
based caulk.
9. Install the filtering media (FIGURE 11).
10. Install the door.
11. Reconnect power to the furnace or air handler at the
electrical service panel.

Instrucciones de instalación del elemento purificador
de aire, modelo1610/1620 fácil de instalar™
ADVERTENCIA
1. El alto voltaje puede ocasionar lesiones graves por descarga eléctrica. Desconecte la alimentación de la caldera/unidad de tratamiento de
aire antes de comenzar con la instalación.
2. Los bordes filosos pueden provocar lesiones por cortes. Se debe tener precaución al cortar y manipular las láminas metálicas.
PRECAUCIÓN
1. Para evitar fallas en el componente, no instale el purificador de aire en el suministro de aire caliente o en un área en donde la temperatura
pueda exceder los 140°F (60°C). Esto puede incluir áreas sobre los intercambiadores de aire en las calderas de flujo de alimentación
descendente o sobre los conductos de escape en el que retorna el aire frío a la caldera.
2. Un técnico calificado en calefacción y aire acondicionado debe realizar la instalación. Lea las instrucciones cuidadosamente antes de
comenzar con la instalación.
3. No instale el purificador de aire debajo de una luz ultravioleta (UV). Las lámparas UV provocan el deterioro de los elementos de filtración.
